ICE Leadership Changes Amidst Deportation Push
The police force in charge of deporting people is changing its leaders.
This is happening because the President wants the force to send more people back to their home countries.
The goal is to arrest 3,000 people every day, which is a lot more than they usually do.
Some leaders are leaving, and others are getting new jobs.
The government says this is to keep everyone safe, but they also need more money and people to do this.
They want to send a million people away each year.
ICE is undergoing a major leadership shakeup.
Kenneth Genalo, acting director of ERO, is retiring.
Marcos Charles will become acting director of ERO.
The administration is targeting 3,000 ICE arrests per day.
The agency is seeking more funding and staff.
